Los Che opted to follow the lead of an number of La Liga clubs in asking all players to go into self isolation, and suspend all training sessions as part of the league’s suspension until April 4th.
However, according to reports in Marca, the 33-year old centre back has now become the first player at the club to test positive.
Garay is already ruled out for the season after suffering a serious knee injury at the start of February, with Valencia potentially signing a short term replacement after their emergency request was granted by La Liga.
The former Real Madrid man has also posted a message on his personal Instagram account, confirming the test, and reassuring fans he is now recovering well at home.
